There's a new sign hanging above the gas masks one:

Just in: Peacekeeper weapons
Pulse pistol and Pulse rifle


Special offer: gas mask and goggles
Price: $46
Students: $37


((Shop lay out and supplies can be found here. I might be slow with responses today so bear with me.))

Edward walks into the shop he doesn't know and looks around for someone to help him.

This is certainly interesting. Tex moves to stand behind the counter and watches the kid who just entered. She wishes she had her helmet on so she could study him more briefly, it's hard to hide her interest in his hands.

The brothers rolled up and parked their bikes out side to wait while Yazoo went into the shop. Taken aback that she was out of her body armor, he was quiet for a bit before he greeted her. "Hey," he said finally.

Edward pokes around at some more stuff before he sees Tex. He waves and says: "you don't mind me looking around, do you? I've never been in this shop before" and smiles shyly.

Tex raises an eyebrow and pushes the brochures on the counter towards him. "That's all there is to see, kid." She says, tapping the brochures. She's right, the rest of the store is completely bare of anything. "Must say, it seems you've got your weapons with you."

"Hey," Tex raised an eyebrow, noticing his hesitance. "What can I do for you today?"

((OOC: ohh haha, ed has been poking at the imaginery things, then. You know, voices in the head and all :D ))

"Oh, i don't know...according to school they don't count as weapens, so i can eh...carry them with me. They're like, my hands, you see?" Ed says, and stutters a bit. He raises his hands somewhat to show them. "What's in the brochures?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Weapons," Tex says, her eyes still on his hands as she flips to a random page with descriptions of the S2 AM Sniper Rifle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weapons_in_Halo:_Combat_Evolved#S2_AM_Sniper_Rifle). "I don't care what your school says, you can rip someone open with those things," she doesn't sound too bothered about it, though. There's actually a strange glint in her eyes as she seems to contemplate the idea. "They're your hands? Not just gloves?"

((OOC: eep! scissors-mun only saw the shop lay-out linkie just now. *is dumb*))

"ehh...rip someone open? Well, eh...well. They're not gloves. I can't take them off. 's really unpractical though, i can never hold the soap in the shower" Ed thinks for a moment why he used that example. "i heard you sell goggles?" he asks, to change the subject.

"Business," He said, pulling some paper out of his leathers. He smoothed them out on the counter and passed them over to her. Three pages, each one with the image of a gunblade. "These are what I found that would work. I found some antiques, too, if you're interested."

"Antiques have their charm," Tex said with a small smile to Yazoo as she bowed down over the images. Her attention was now fully on the gunblades and she traced a finger along the blade of the second one. "I won't have a problem to use the trigger when I'm in armour?" She asked as she looked up at Yazoo again.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I suppose that would suck," Tex agrees with a shrug, she looks slightly uncomfortable at the movement. "I sell gas masks and goggles, they're a pair."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo smiled and tilted his head. "That's what modifications are for. We can measure it and I'll extend it." He looked at her hands, which didn't have the armor covering them. "I think it'll need modifying."

He pulled the image back around and tapped at it. "We'll need enlarge the grip too, so it doesn't get lost in your palm," he said thoughtfully. "Which works since that's where the powerpack will have to go."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Makes sense," Tex nodded and straightened up a bit, moving somewhat awkwardly. "I like the blade on that one," she said indicating the second picture. "I don't think I'm the griffin type."

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

"Ooh gasmasks, that's nifty too. You see, i need to dress up an eunuch as a nun, so i thought goggles would come in handy" Ed says, and nods. "Do you have them here so i can see them, or should they be ordered?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He laughed and shook his head. "Function over form." Yazoo wrinkled his nose when he looked at the third one. "I like the blade on the one you chose." The papers were folded up and tucked away. "I'll go get it this week and come back for the measurements on Friday." He looked around the store. "Do you have a model of grip you would like?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid you caught me on the one day without armour," Tex chuckled and considered his question. "The M6C Magnum Sidearm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2_Human_Weapons#Magnum) I'm selling has a decent grip, I don't think it would do the blade justice though. Can you get something resembling the grip it has now?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I've got it on stock," Tex replies as she bends down and retrieves a gas mask and goggles (http://www.familydefense.com/images/GOGGLES-MASK-FILTERS.JPG) from underneath her counter. "37 Bucks for students and I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about eunuchs and nuns."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Yazoo said. He looked around the shop. "When I have time, I'd like to see what you have."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex inclinded her head towards the armoured door behind her to her left. "I keep the weapons stored away. Wouldn't want those teenagers damaging the goods," she said with a smirk. "I got an interesting shipment in yesterday."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

His attention went to the sign in the window. "I saw, I want to come back later to look at one." He turned to face her again, smiling. "If you don't sell out."

[occ- Got his eye on a pulse pistol.]

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"There's more where they came from," Tex said with a small smile. "I prefer keep at least one model on stock so you should be safe."

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

"That sounds reasonable" ed says, as he pokes with his scissors at the goggles, picturing how they would look on persian_eunuch. He has some trouble handling the wallet, but manages to get the 37 dollar out. "Here you go".

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"I'll be back then. See you on Friday," he said and pushed from the counter to head out the door.

Tex sighs as she carefully takes the money from Edward and puts it away. She pulls a box out from underneath the counter and dumps the mask and goggles in it. "That will be all?" She asks as she slides it towards him.
